Solution
When the camera is set to <P>, <Tv>, <Av>, <M>, <B> mode, the camera’s aspect ratio for images can be changed during Live View shooting. You can select from [3:2], [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1].
NOTE
- The image’s aspect ratio is set to [3:2] by default and can not be changed during viewfinder shooting.
- The area surrounding the Live View image is masked in black when the following aspect ratios are set: [4:3] [16:9] [1:1].
- JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio.
- RAW images will always be saved with the [3:2] aspect ratio. Since the aspect ratio information is appended to the RAW image, the image can be created in the respective aspect ratio when you process the RAW image with the camera or Digital Photo Professional software. If you playback the RAW image with the camera, frame lines indicating the aspect ratio (image area) will be displayed.
